XR500 power button blinking won’t connect to modem

My router has always worked fine, I came home from work today and my nighthawk was blinking white over the power button all other lights were off and it won’t connect to my modem/internet what is wrong? I’ve tried restarting unplugging both devices nothing works.

Re: XR500 power button blinking won’t connect to modem

A couple things. 

1. you posted in the general nighthawk forum. You'd probably get better help in the pro-gamer forum for your device.

2. Did you try a factory reset? Push and hold reset for 7-15 seconds while its powered on. Then reinstalli t

3. what firmware is on the router?

4. are you able to access the router via a hardwired connection? 

5. What modem/gateway is it connected to?
